1.1.14[]

Patch 1.1.14 was released with this post on 10 December 2021. As the first update after Norse Lands and the big changes of the Conquest Update, there were changes made based on community feedback:

Norse Lands balance changes

  • Norse Lands Bankers now have extended working hours.
  • The tree in the Norse Lands vagrant camp has sadly died and been cut down.
  • Monarchs can now pay for shield walls during the day, allowing for preparation for the night's attack.
  • Reduced the cost for recruiting berserkers and berserker leaders from 6/8 coins to 3/4 coins.
  • Berserkers run faster, jump attack in combat, and have more hit points.
  • Berserkers heal to full health after combat is over.
  • The day 30 blood moon in Norse Lands is now a smaller attack focused on the introduction of the crusher greed.
  • The winters of Norse Lands are proving too harsh for the Greed. Wave strength no longer increases during the first two winters.
  • The crusher greed will now retreat if there are no other greed on the map, in order to prevent certain scenarios where the player could get soft-locked.

General balance changes

  • Reduced the cost for recruiting citizens at the citizen house from 7 to 5 coins.
  • Builders now walk back to the nearest Kingdom border when they have no more jobs to do.
  • Large groups of archers will now do a better job at defending the walls.
  • Pikemen can now carry 2 coins.
  • Plague Island has had a balance pass to adjust it to the fixes and balance changes made in the Conquest update.
  • Improved the archer retreat mechanic so they are more reliable about taking up positions in towers deep in the Kingdom.
  • Masked trolls are a bit less effective against walls.
  • Builders will leave their catapult to repair walls in the mornings.
  • Breeders now throw catapult stones back less often.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused antivirus software to block the game, in some cases causing a fatal error saying “il2cpp failed to load”. The game now has a signed certificate that should prevent this from happening.
  • Fixed an issue that caused players with the system language set to Thai or Arabic to experience infinite saving or game freeze at campaign start.
  • More towers can now be built on each island, so the “I HAVE THE TOWER!” achievement should be easier to unlock. In order to access the new towers, you must start a new island or game.
  • Adjusted the text for the “A journey is better shared” achievement to accurately reflect the unlock conditions.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause the game to soft-lock when players paid for the wall horn in co-op.
  • Fixed an issue that caused some objects and Greed to fall off the map in a bottomless void, sometimes resulting in neverending blood moons.
  • Hermits should no longer jump off your mount at night if the Monarch is heading towards home.
  • Fixed a visual bug that caused the shields of workers to flicker if they entered the oil & fire tower.
  • Fixed a visual bug that caused the wrong tower model to spawn in Dead Lands.
  • Fixed a visual bug that caused the forge to spawn below ground in Shogun.

1.1.13[]

Also known as the Conquest Update, the patch 1.1.13 (R16130) was released on 16 November 2021.

New features

Unit behavior changes

  • Units will no longer attack portals unless ordered to do so.
  • The Merchant will now payout at any time of day, but only accept payment to leave the Kingdom if it is safe.
  • The Banker will now payout multiple times a day, so long as the player needs coins and the banker has coins.
  • Archers will now only occupy the towers close to the border of your Kingdom or outside of your Kingdom. Additionally, they will no longer leave the safety of the Kingdom at night to try and enter towers.
  • Speaking of archers in towers: they now shoot further than archers on the ground, and they will hunt from the tower during the day.
  • Up to eight pikemen can now defend each border of your Kingdom.
  • Vagrants will now turn into peasants as soon as they finish eating bread. Rulers can still intercept them with coins to save on bread bills.
  • Armored greedlings are now stronger and tougher to defeat.
  • Breeders now arrive on time with the rest of the wave, and retreat at dawn instead of dying.

Blood Moon & retaliation wave changes

  • Fixed an issue where Blood Moons* would clear incorrectly, leaving your Kingdom vulnerable and without defenses at the end of the wave.
    [ * – Actually the issue used to affect counterattack waves. ]
  • Blood Moons and recovery days are now consistent throughout the game, getting more frequent the longer the game lasts. We also added a minor Blood Moon at the end of the first spring, so you’ll get used to it sooner.
  • Daybreak will no longer end the onslaught from Blood Moons and Retaliation waves. Your Kingdom won’t be safe until every Greed has been defeated!
  • Fixed lack of cooldown days after Blood Moons in the Dead Lands biome.
  • Retaliation waves are not as punishing as fast, to allow Rulers more portal destruction action before being accidentally overwhelmed.
  • Portal defense waves grow smoothly over time and become more difficult sooner. You'll need Knights to take portals in the late game because your Squires will die. That’s a promise!

General improvements and bugfixes

  • Ballista towers and catapults are now far more accurate and deadly.
  • The Warhorse ability now triggers on your command and will not happen automatically when you sprint.
  • We know you like to recruit a whole lot of archers and call it a day to feel safe and cozy within your Kingdom walls. Well, our designer Alan wants you to diversify your strategy with more types of units and towers. Your archer army may no longer stand up to the challenge!
  • Decay should be more understandable and less punishing for heirs and returning rulers. Dropped gems no longer decay at all.
  • Fixed an issue with challenge island data. Achieving the cursed crown in all challenges will once again result in your ruler wearing the cursed crown in the campaign.
  • Implemented support for wide and ultrawide screen resolutions.
  • Fixed an issue with Korean translation.
